30 things everyone should know how to do before turning 30!

I stumbled upon a book at the library that I think will be interesting and somewhat amusing. It is:

30 Things Everyone Should Know How to Do Before Turning 30
By: Siobhan Adcock

30 must-have life skills every capable adult should perfect before turning 30. You're old enough to own property and have a family, but can you safely open a bottle of champagne? Or change a flat tire? 30 Things Everyone Should Know How to Do Before Turning 30 provides idiot-proof instructions for mastering these and other essential, face-saving, and possibly life-saving skills. You'll learn how to... 1. wrap a present 2. start a successful fire in a fireplace, at a campsite, and in a barbecue 3. finish a piece of furniture 4. get a raise 5. order wine at a restaurant without getting stiffed 6. parallel park in three breathtakingly beautiful movements 7. dance a "slow dance" without looking like an idiot 8. use a full place setting properly, including chopsticks and Asian soup spoons And more!

I thought that it would be kind of entertaining for Q and I to see if we are competent thirty somethings. Each week we will discuss one of the 30 skills named in the book and see if we have or can master that skill. When appropriate we will upload videos or photos for your viewing pleasure.

Have you read the book? Do you feel like you are a competent 30 something?
